Molly C Sutherland
Dr. Molly Sutherland is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Delaware. She received her BS in General Biology from the University of Maryland-College Park and her PhD in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis from Washington University in St. Louis. After completing postdoctoral training in the Department of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, she joined the faculty of University of Delaware in 2020. At University of Delaware she runs a research lab and teaches Introduction to Microbiology and Microbial Genetics. Her research lab focuses on understanding the process of cytochrome c biogenesis. Cytochromes c play important roles in generating cellular energy in nearly all organisms from humans through bacteria, thus understanding how these proteins are made is a fundamental biological process. The Sutherland lab uses genetic, molecular biology and biochemical approaches to gain a detailed mechanistic understanding of bacterial cytochrome c biogenesis and its impact on bacterial metabolism and bioenergetics.
